I can 5* recommend the shower temps in England so far! Hot & steamy enough that it comes with a warning on the door 😂

I’m not a fan of the purple kale shampoo & parsley body wash though. Smelling like a salad isn’t my preference 🤷🏼‍♀️

**Coming soon!**

The Solare by Black Country! A slimmer, close contact jump saddle with a flatter seat and less knee padding than my current demo models. You spoke - I listened!

This demo is available for purchase or trial & will be made with the Cocoa Vintage leather and Dark Brown seat & pads. Brown patent welting on the seat & cantle give it some pizazz without being too much for the traditional hunter ring. And lastly, the demo will have Velcro knee blocks so that we can perfectly accommodate your leg position AND the size block of your preference!

Order the bespoke saddle of your dreams for $5700 (including. S&H and Customs) before 11/21 for Christmas Delivery this year!

For over 30 years, Black Country Saddles has remained true to the art of traditional British saddlery — craftsmanship defined by quality, comfort, and longevity. But we also understand that modern riders seek more than tradition alone. You want a saddle that reflects not only your discipline, but your personality and style 😍

Every Black Country Saddle is a bespoke creation, handcrafted from the finest materials and fully customisable down to the smallest detail. Whether that means contemporary colour choices, stitching, or leather finishes — the result is always a perfect harmony of classic craftsmanship and modern design. The saddle pictured here captures that balance beautifully: timeless tradition, reimagined for today’s rider.

A few things that we need to normalize:

🛠️Finding a saddle fitter who can do more than sell a saddle

🐴Finding well made saddles that are meant to fit a horse

💸Investing in equipment that fits instead of the newest bandaid marketed by people who don’t understand saddle fit (I’m looking at you, saddle pad industry!)

Just a reminder that I’m “out of office” for a few weeks! I’ll see everyone after November 12!
